Preoperative fenestration for type A acute aortic dissection with mesenteric malperfusion

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery
Olivier FabreAlain Prat

Abstract

We report a case of a 71-year-old man presenting with acute type A aortic dissection and mesenteric ischemia due to extension of the intimal flap to the mesenteric artery. Because of the severity of the abdominal symptoms, surgical correction of the ascending aorta was delayed. Preoperative percutaneous fenestration was performed successfully, allowing ascending aortic replacement 6 days later. Transverse colon stenosis secondary to preoperative ischemia occurred in the postoperative course. The patient was discharged from hospital with normal intestinal transit 72 days later.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.
